Ezekiel 5:2 in Context — Ezekiel 5
1 Et toi, fils de l’homme, prends un instrument tranchant, un rasoir de barbier; prends-le, et passe-le sur ta tête et sur ta barbe. Prends ensuite une balance à peser, et partage les cheveux.
2 Brûles-en un tiers dans le feu, au milieu de la ville, lorsque les jours du siège seront accomplis; prends-en un tiers, et frappe-le avec le rasoir tout autour de la ville; disperses-en un tiers au vent, et je tirerai l’épée derrière eux.
3 Tu en prendras une petite quantité, que tu serreras dans les bords de ton vêtement.
4 Et de ceux-là tu en prendras encore quelques-uns, que tu jetteras au feu et que tu brûleras dans le feu. De là sortira un feu contre toute la maison d’Israël.
